Abstract
Background: Chronic wounds and injuries represent a significant burden for health care professionals due to the difficulties related to their management. The selection and use of appropriate dressings have become essential for successful treatment. Honey has been used for thousands of years as a biological treatment because its bioactive components contribute to the healing process. Objective: This case report aims to demonstrate the efficiency of Argania honey dressing on pressure ulcers. Case Presentation: The wound care was achieved using pure raw Argania honey with no additives, pasteurization, or manipulation. A previous mechanical debridement process was necessary before the application of honey dressings to a right heel bedsore in a 69-year-old man who suffered an ischemic stroke. Results: This case report describes for the first time the complete healing of a right heel bedsore using Argania honey dressing. Bedsore demonstrated rapid recovery and complete healing over approximately 18 weeks (124 days, between June and October 2021). Conclusion: With the rise of natural medicines and some pathologies that are resistant to conventional treatments, Argania honey can be an asset for its therapeutic effects on the skin, but more studies are needed to explain and identify the complexity of mechanisms involved to ensure this complete healing process.
